Beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes as evidence of African gene flow to the northeastern coast of Venezuela

Article Abstract:

The study of 37 individuals with normal hematological parameters, origination of mutation HBB*S in Sucre and Anzoategui states and the genetic affinities of these Venezuelan populations with other human groups, the beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes and the determining of 28 sickle cell and/or S-beta thalassemia patients. Results reveal a high level of admixture of the Sucre-Anzoategui population.

Behavior of loci D1S1656 and D12S291 in a sample from Maracaibo, Venezuela

Article Abstract:

A sample from Maracaibo, an admixed population of Venezuela, of short tandem repeats polymorphisms characterized by PCR, D1S1656 and D12S391 were investigated in order to evaluate their application in forensic and population genetics studies. It was proved that these two loci were important candidates for STR packages for forensic and population genetic purposes.
